And there we have have it, gentle readers. The feline's now outta the bag. Blessed Matt Godfrey's right-hand-man for four years - neoCON Comrade Kent Jorgensen -- has arched his back, gotten his tail up and bitten his master -- Blessed Matthew Godfrey - Hosanna -- The Annointed Dwarf With the Big Vision!
Yikes! Horrors!
It comes as no surprise that Comrade Kent wants to run for mayor. He's been putting out feelers for months. We commented on this very recently here, in fact.
Our old buddy Kent, who got elected in 2002 on a platform of saving the downtown mall, and then summarily did a 180 and voted to tear it down -- and then cheered and TAUNTED people like me who voted for him -- now has the gall to intimate that he would or could ever get elected to an Ogden city office again.
Too weird, we say.
How can Ogden voters EVER trust him ever again?
We're going to have to hear a lot of repentance on Kent Jorgensen's part before we ever consider him a candidate for anything in this city.
For our own part... we are willing to offer our Christian foregiveness, so long as Former Councilman Jorgensen is willing to do his mayoral campaigning with a polygraph cuff constantly strapped to his arm.
OK! We already know he's probably the new choice of the 800 Pound gorilla -- now that Blessed Matthew Godfrey is obvious political dead meat. Even 800# gorillas need to deal in political reality tough, afterall.
Whether Kent can ever get elected to any public office again on his own merit in Ogden City remains an open question.
One thing's sure: Rudi wouldn't ever vote for him again, at least not until he's publicly confessed his sins, self-flaggelated and sincerely begged for the voters' foregivance.
Meanwhile let's dwell on this:
"A cat like Kent has nine lives."
"The citizens have the memory of elephants."
Which old folk axiom will prevail?
How many "Cat Lives" has Kent Jorgensen already used up anyway that we don't know about?
How really big and memory-adept big are elephants?
Too funny!

Never say never.
Suppose, just suppose, for fun, that the final race came down to Hizzonah Mayor Godfrey vs. Mr. Jorgenson.
What would you do on election day --- besides drinking Chlorox that is?
Of course, in my view what we need is a good Democratic candidate for mayor. Someone who lives and works in what Republicans like to deride these days a "the reality based community." No names to offer yet, but I'm working on it.
"Of course, in my view what we need is a good Democratic candidate for mayor"
This sounds like an oxymoron to me.
What we need is a Paleo Republican attitude... Something that's not bound up in current communalist statist tendencies.
Ogden will be fine in the long run, so long as we reign-in the BIG GOVERNMENT schemers and planners. They constantly make BAD planning decisions, because their personal assets are never put on the line.
Look at the four-year-old Ogden dirthole for an example of that.
Has REAL construction started there yet?
Drive down there right now and take a look.
Bring your camera.
Speaking of bring your camera, the Smart Growth Ogden led walking tours over the land Mr. Peterson proposes to have the city sell him for development in and above Mt. Ogden Park Golf Course have been so successful, they are being extended. They will now not end at the end of May but will continue every Saturday through June. The walking tours leave at 9 AM from the 29th Street Trailhead. They take about two hours [though folks can leave the tour at any time]. They are free, and open to all.
Bring your camera....
Say, I wonder if any buddy has looked at the formost respectable democrat that is in this county. When it comes to a democrat that I have seen labor with his hands and has some alliances with the republicans is representative Neil Hansen. The things that I have seen him do and say, has nothing but the publics intrest at the first and formost of it all. Has any one talked to him about this, after all I think he has worked for the city for about 20 years, and he knows the inner workings of not only city government but also the state government, and he knows how to network with the rebulicans to get things done. Curmudgeon give him a call and see what he has to say about it. I for one would be willing to support the guy knowing he listens to the public.

What election day does for one person after they voted: Gives them 365 days to start complaining.
So to answer your question of what I would do on election day:
Well let's not answer the question as SOMEBODY would do.
But, if I had to......I would just crack jokes. We have yo mama jokes that consist of: yo mama so fat, yo mama so ugly, yo mama so stupid.......well let's play yo mayor so....(you fill in the blanks) And to start it off.....
Yo mayor is so stupid he sold the mall for a 5 million dollar attitude, when he knew it could have been a 2 million dollar lawsuit.....ummm....I mean attitude.
Definately second the Niel Hansen nomination.
He is a smart, honest and fair man. His interests are with the people of this community, not building big ego monuments to himself. Look at his record in the house of representatives. Every bill he has introduced, every vote he has made, has been for the people of Ogden, not special interest groups like Geiger and Peterson represent.
